My money is on cousin Greg to take over.

What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?

It’s not like the Dem base will switch their votes to Trump.

At this point, now that the nominees are decided, the political game is to attract the swing vote, which is mostly “tough on crime,” anti-imigration, and anti-taxation (as it applies to them directly).

Even though none of these policies are actually good for those in the middle.

Yeah, I know what a hydrogen fuel cell is.

What I’m saying is that the cost to develop hydrogen infrastructure, the complexity of it’s distribution, the risk due to its high volatility, and the uncertainty of a relatively underdeveloped technology all seem to be losing to batteries, which are very mature tech and are already in the supply chain and for which we already have a well developed electricity distribution grid.

I just don’t see what investing in fuel cells will do other than slow the adoption of zero emission vehicles by another decade.

What are the benefits of fuel cells?

Do they outweigh the benefits of batteries?

I’m confused. Why are we talking about Tesla?

Is fuel cell tech actually easier, cheaper, or better than batteries in any way?

I think 20 to 30 thousand deaths is a bit more than a couple…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_28_incident

The February 28 incident (also called the February 28 massacre, the 228 incident, or the 228 massacre) was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan in 1947 that was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang–led nationalist government of the Republic of China (ROC). Directed by provincial governor Chen Yi and president Chiang Kai-shek, thousands of civilians were killed beginning on February 28. The incident is considered to be one of the most important events in Taiwan’s modern history and was a critical impetus for the Taiwan independence movement.

Between 18,000 and 28,000 deaths…

Yep. This fucking loophole in the American tax system.

You borrow against your existing wealth, then the cost basis of your investments resets upon inheritance. So your estate can sell the investment to pay off the debt, and no capital gains tax is ever paid.

Because of this, in America, capital gains tax only applies to the middle class. The rich have a clear and obvious loophole.

Right!?

These people have more wealth than the GDP of some nations.

Jeff Bezos has more wealth ($190B) than the GDP of Ukraine ($170B).

multiple time the sum of the wealth of all the top 10 richest individuals on earth???

Do you mean the $78B fine or the $300B debt?

In either case, you’re way over exaggerating. All of the top 14 wealthiest people have over $100B each. Jeff Bezos (#2 richest) has close to $200B alone.

For the Americans:

This ABC is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and NOT the American Broadcasting Company owned by Disney.

What was the location of the US and UK ships? What are the treaties governing access to the Red Sea?

Are you sure that counts as territorial waters for Yemen?

unilateral […] US and UK

How is it unilateral if two countries are coordinated?

(Yes, I’m being pedantic. My apologies.)

Also, it’s not the job of the UNSC to “authorize” military action of individual nations. UNSC authorization of force (Article 42) refers to sending UN peacekeeping forces, like in the Korean war. This hasn’t happened many times.

Article 51 allows member states to use force to defend themselves. US and UK military ships were being attacked.

The opposite of “immigration” is “emigration”.

• “migration” does not imply a direction.
• “immigration” means migration in.
• “emigration” means migration out.
